 Social media can be a huge tool to help you grow your business. Using sites like Instagram, TikTok and Facebook can allow you to engage with your customer base and add to your following. I personally use a few different platforms to engage with my fellow creators, show new products, announce product launches and sales, and to reach new customers. Let’s talk about the different platforms and some things to look out for.      Facebook: You have a few different options here as far as promoting your business. You can make a business page where you can create posts, stories and events for your business, this is the option I have chosen to go with as I can cross post from Instagram to save myself some time.

  Hello! I’m Danielle the designer and creator of A Wandering Gypsy Co. I create handmade bohemian jewelry inspired by the beauty in nature. I love to work with gemstones and natural elements in my designs, (more about that later!) Growing up near the ocean I have a love of creating beachy boho looks incorporating sea glass, pearls and mermaid glass. I have lived a few different places, (that’s where the wandering comes in), and I have taken inspiration from each of them.

Currently I am  based out of Georgia, just south of Atlanta.  I love sharing my work with others and have had the honor of being published in both BeadStyle and Bead and Button magazines. I have just recently become a member of the International organization for the Self-Representing Artist in Jewelry Design ( SRAJD), and  I have also been accepted as a Jesse James Be...
